. IL is with The deepest regret the we
are called upon to chronicle the death
Of Hon. Andrew y. Kearnsy, District
Attorney Of the Fourteenth Jndicial
District, and one of the most highly
esteemed and generally popular citi-
zans Of the town of Lake Charles.
Judge Kearney was taken sick at
Leesville, Vernon parish, where he had
been attending court, but was able to
travel, and had got as far as Sugar
town on his way home, when he was
compelled to stop and summon medi
cal aid. DR.. M. &. Singleton was call
ed in and did all that medical skill
could do, but to no purpose, and after
four days sickness ct the residence of
Hon. G. w. Richardson on the 9th
ult., surrounded by warm friends, but
separated from home, family and loved
ones, passed away this honorable gen
tleman, efficient officer and good and
worthy citizen.
Judge Kearney was a native of
Charlottesville, Va, and was born on
the 9th day of July, 1926. He came
to New Orleans in 1916 and embark
ed in the mercantile business. Not
beng successful he abandoned mer-
chandising and moved to Vermilion
parish, and soon thereafter was elect
ed clerk of the court, which position
he retained for 16 years. Having
studied law and been admitted to the
bar in the meantime, he resigned his
position and moved to Cameron, and
was the first parish Judge of that
parish.
In 1880 he was elected District
Attorney of the Fourteenth Judi
cial District and occupied the position
mp to the time of his death, filling
the Office with ability and to the sat
isfaction of the entire people. Judge
Kearney was one of those jOvlal, kind
hearted men that is everybody's friend,
but was terror to evil.doers.
The remains arrived here last Sat
urday under escort of Messrs. J. NJ.
Dear, j. L. Lyons, Geo. Thielman, J.
w. Moore, Ed. Escoubas and others,
prominent citizens of Sugartown and
warm personal friends of the deCeas-
ed, and were buried at the Corpora
tion Graveyard at 8 o'clock the same
evening under the auspices of the
Lake Charles fire department, Judge
Kearney being a member Of Pelican
Babcock Fl. d. L. Co. No. l. Although
the weather was inclement and rainy,
the funeral was very largely attended,
as the deceased was universally popu-
lar, and his death is sincerely lament
ed by all classes. Judge Kearney
leaves a widow and seven children,
all grown, to mourn his loss, to whom
the Echo, along with the entire com
munity, extends the deepest sympathy
in this their hour of bereavement.

The City ITEM says the latest news
from the coffee growing countries in
dicates that the crops will be much
shorter and prices higher than was
anticipated a month ago. 1t will not
be at all surprising, continues the Item,
if coffee by next December should be
IS cents per pound. At present there
is over FIVE thousand sacks of coffee
either in the city or held by New Or
leans houses, so that our people need
not be anxious about scarcity Of the
bean, though the prices may be high.
The demand from the outside for cof-
fee, even at this early date, is pressing,
and figures higher than the market
rates have been Offered.
